A +35 to +40 is "safe," as the OE 17" wheels are 17x8 +50.
You could run as low as about +22 with an 18x8 (same frontspacing as the 20x9 +35 on the front of my car), but it would be very aggressive. Most aftermarket wheel manufacturers will offer something like +35, +38, or +40 for this car. Personally, I prefer a more aggressive look, so for a safe fitment I would use 18x8 +35. To me, an 18x8 +40 looks too "sucked in."

yup, if you wanna go safe, go as low as 30. anything below that you might start to run into rubbing problems
